Corvair people-

     I'm to the point where I have to  remove the short bolts already tack welded into the firewall engine mounts, and  need to know the least destructive way of getting rid of the old ones. Do I have  to beef up the existing parts, or should I even go so far as to make new  ones?

I have an unused set with the long bolts that you can  have for free. Note that the upper mounts are the old style ones that are *not*  integrated with the canopy attachment points. Picture attached. If you want them  tell me where to send them.

Ben,   I believe the Corvair is a bit heavy for the 701.  Jerry  701 0% done.

 William Wynne is  working on it. Look a little down from the top of this  page:

ok thank you Jerry  at least that answers that question. What do you think would be a good alternative to the 912? maybe VW?

Right now, I am looking at the direct drive VW with water cooled heads from Great Plains and/or I am also very attracted to an engine that does not yet exist which is the single rotor based on the Mazda rotary engine.   I will not install less than 100 hp since I have very short  (800 ft) grass field.  I like the Jabiru and Rotax but they are out of my league financially.  I like the Harley Hog engine too.  It looks cool and sounds great.    Jerry   701  0% done

Guys,

HomebuiltHelp.com has a good video that may answer your questions:  The "912" Competition.  It covers the Sub, AeroVee, Corvair, Rotec, Jab, Suzuki, and Great Plains VW.  Worth a look-see for sure!

Ben,  

   

Please note that you hi-jacked Bill’s “Subject” about engine mounts. Your questions will be lost in the List if you do not change your Subject, and Bill’s answers will be diluted by a different subject matter.

No I don't think I did I asked about eninges and I don't see how "hijacked anything". they kind of apply to each other.

Ben,  

   

The original question was about fitting the engine mount, not about running Corvair engines on a 701 (which is a very good subject all by itself).  

   

When you hit the ‘REPLY’ button, merely tab down or click on ‘Subject’ and make a change. That way future listers can refer to the subject you intended, to get the information they are seeking.  

   

I apologize if I seemed harsh. That was not my intent. My intent is to preserve the value of all this information as a future data base. You may not be aware that individuals can go to the Matronics site and do a “search” on any topic. Those topics need to be kept as pure as possible.   

   

I wish you the best of luck in your future building endeavor.
